OT: Space X Falcon Heavy launch and landing of two boosters

[The Spin Meister]

Launched probe to asteroid made of rare metals. Amazing to see the boosters land upright!

It amazes me that we, the most technologically advanced society in this most technologically advanced age cannot get a handle on a virus that came from a lab in Communist China. We can put men on the moon, safely return them and send rockets to collect material from comets and asteroids but we can't control a virus.

Maybe that was government's greatest technological achievement. After all, it was more expensive, way more, than putting a man on the moon and the rest of the space program combined. Government needs to have goals too.

That really is mazing technology - funny how when the government ran things we just threw everything out without no thought of booster reuse.
